Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

DR. Rafiq is a phenomenal pediatrician, My 3 kids love her, she is kind, gentle and always listens to all of our concerns. She goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for our kids and always goes the extra mile to make sure all our questions and needs are met. If our kids are sick and they are seen at her office she always personally calls us to make sure they are improving, you don’t find many doctors that do that. She is the absolute best!

Good Pediatrician
My son has been seeing Dr. Rafiq since he was born, she has provided us with a wealth of knowledge in regards to his vaccinations. She has been nothing but gentle with my little one, he enjoys each visit. We have had a few bumps in the road in regards to my sons health, Dr. Rafiq and her team are always there to answer my calls, questions and concerns. There's almost no wait time and we never feel rushed or put aside. Dr. Rafiq and her team make each visit one to look forward to.

The doctor did not care about about my daugther feelings at all. She barely check her and told her all the problems she has is because of her weight. She also told her that she has depression??? My question is how will this help a child? All is in her head right now is that she is depressed and that she need a psychiatrist. Non stop crying... I think this could have been manage in a different and careful manner. How will this improve her health.? Instead of at least doing blood work or talk to the child she conclude that she is fat and depressed. Couldn't this be manage in a more caring way? Doctors need to stop thinking on billing issues and care for patients first. We have a life later and tomorrow.... I am just so sorry I took her there. Now all she is doing is crying. Thanks to dr Amhera raqif.
